FRGT 0826 Derby to Long Marston, 18/06/2016

[Harbornite]

Does anyone know what's booked for this working?

http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/R41043/2016/06/18/advanced

Operational Information
Schedule from ITPS
Timed for 60mph max
Diesel locomotive, trailing load 715 tonnes

I'm informed that it might be a DCR 31 but it would be great if anyone could confirm.

Cheers.

31452 worked the move to Derby today so likely to continue tomorrow

Thanks, will it be light engine I wonder, despite the 715 tonnes?

Could well be, 60mph with 715 tonnes is the most populated set of freight running times by a long way. If there were missing times for a light loco (LD60) then it was probably quicker to do it this way as it would be a right side failure.

Unlikely, as this train is, as far as I can gather, being used to move track plant or some other sort of rolling stock into Long Marston ahead of the Rail Live 2016 event at the site next week

I decided to haul myself to Longbridge to see it and was able to get this pic, after some initial concerns with regards to timings.

I had a feeling it would be loaded and we were right. I remember going out to see one of the workings for railive 2014 going through Barnt Green.
